Abstract
Abstract A flexible woven jacket assembly is disclosed for encasing woven electrical transmission cables providing a flexible package while maintaining the conductors of stacked cables generally fixed in their relative positions and providing protection against abrasion and unwanted electromagnetic noises. The woven jacket assembly includes a woven cover fabric formed from aromatic polyamide fibers woven together to form a solid outer cover fabric and various shielding is disclosed for reducing unwanted electromagnetic noises.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
A flexible woven jacket assembly encasing a woven electrical transmission cable or cables of generally flat configuration providing protection against abrasion and for maintaining conductors of stacked cables generally fixed in their relative positions while affording a flexible package comprising: at least one of said transmission cables; an elongated cover strip constructed from warp and fill strands woven together to form a generally solid outer cover fabric; said cover strip woven to define a pair of longitudinal marginal edges; a strip of fastener hook tape carried adjacent one of said marginal edges; a strip of fastener loop tape carried adjacent said other marginal edges; said fastener tapes securing said marginal edges of said woven cover strip wrapped about the transmission cable; and said woven cover strip and fastener tapes having a sufficient width to afford adjustability to enable the jacket circumference of said cover strip to vary and said marginal edges be joined to accommodate a variety of sizes and numbers of said transmission cables such as when in a stacked configuration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
172 words
A flexible woven jacket assembly encasing a woven electrical transmission cable or cables of generally flat configuration providing protection against abrasion and for maintaining conductors of stacked cables generally fixed in their relative positions while affording a flexible package comprising: at least one of said transmission cables; an elongated cover strip constructed from warp and fill strands woven together to form a generally solid outer cover fabric; said cover strip woven to define a pair of longitudinal marginal edges; a strip of fastener hook tape carried adjacent one of said marginal edges; a strip of fastener loop tape carried adjacent said other marginal edges; said fastener tapes securing said marginal edges of said woven cover strip wrapped about the transmission cable; and said woven cover strip and fastener tapes having a sufficient width to afford adjustability to enable the jacket circumference of said cover strip to vary and said marginal edges be joined to accommodate a variety of sizes and numbers of said transmission cables such as when in a stacked configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The assembly of claim 1 including metallic shield means carried by said cover strip affording protection against unwanted electromagnetic noises.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The assembly of claim 2 wherein said metallic shield means includes a foil strip carried within said woven cover strip generally surrounding said transmission cable, said foil shield strip adapted for connection to ground.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The assembly of claim 3 wherein said foil strip co-extends generally with said cover strip and includes a longitudinal edge secured adjacent one of said marginal edges of said cover strip.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The assembly of claim 2 wherein said shielding means is provided by said fastener tapes constructed from conductive material adapted for connection to ground affording electromagnetic shielding.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said fastener tapes consist of conductive hook and loop fastener tapes.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said warp and fill strands include polyamide fibers consisting essentially of aromatic polyamide fibers.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said woven cover strip is coated with a stabilizing coating providing a better hand to the outer cover fabric and more resistance to abrasion.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said warp and fill strands include a mixture of polyamide and aromatic polyamide fibers providing elasticity and fire retardancy to said cover fabric.
